Dear Chocolatier Letter (2018)

2018-01-02T03:12:24Z

Dear Chocolatier,

Hey! So first and foremost you should know I love all the ships I’m asking for. Half of them I actually nominated and the other half I would have nominated if I had thought of them (or if they hadn’t been nominated already). So essentially I’ll be happy no matter what you write, but here are some guidelines and ideas J

GENERAL LIKES

· Secret relationships or secret identities, or honestly just secrets in general—especially when the secret finally gets out!

Dark fic in general
Role reversals, whether the people in the ship swap roles with each other or with someone else in the fandom.
Fairy tale AU, or fairy tales woven into the telling of the story, or fairy tales/legends used as symbols throughout the story.
Power imbalances, mind games, manipulation.
AU where one of the good guys is a villain, or all of them.
Crack premises treated seriously
Time travel, whether it be a character trying to fix the past, a frustrating time loop or some sort of accidental Time Traveler’s Wife scenario, can be a lot of fun. I prefer characters not stressing too much about “keeping the past the same” in these scenarios though.
Hurt/comfort, for either physical or emotional pain
Alternate first meetings, especially if they lead to terrible first impressions, epic misunderstandings or people getting into accidental adventures together. (e.g. “we met during a bank robbery” or “I thought you were my blind date and you just went with it” or “when I met you I was in the middle of beating up my archnemesis and now you think I’m a thug.”)
Kidnapping/captivity fics
Multiple dimensions/universes interacting
Dysfunctional/unhealthy relationships, both romantic and platonic
Obsessive/possessive tendencies, unhealthy sometimes, or at other times leading to ruthless protectiveness.
Magical realism…you know it when you see it.
Gangster AU
Canon divergent AU
Character studies, 5 + 1 fics, fics that play with form. (Not epistolary or chatroom fic though pls.)

ART LIKES
I requested art for the following fandoms: Dollhouse, Gattaca, Great Gatsby, Phantom of the Opera, and Strange Things.
I've never received an art gift before so I'm not really sure what to ask for. Most of my requests center around fic, but if any of them inspire you, go for it. Other than that:

I don't really want smutty artwork but kinky artwork would be lovely. Bondage, knives, etc...characters crossdressing...it could be fun.
I'm always fine with my ship just...sitting or standing together, even without a backdrop. A picture that conveys their dynamic somehow, whether that be through an affectionate arm draped over a shoulder or two angry glares at each other. As you do.
For the Phantom of the Opera, period dress and costume porn is lovely. Anything that conveys the dystopian primness of Gattaca or Dollhouse would also be great, or the Prohibition partying aura of Great Gatsby.
Honestly most of my requests are rarepairs and have little art of them so just go for it, I'd love to see anything you make.

SMUTTY/KINKY LIKES AND DISLIKES

Since this is a Valentine’s Day gift exchange I have given myself permission to request smut, although it’s embarrassing. I would say, though, that my smut and kink likes can be a bit tricky.

·         Safe, sane and consensual BDSM. Mentions of safewords, possibly even use of safewords. Nonsexual BDSM to relieve stress, or BDSM used as part of a makeout scene that doesn’t lead to sex.
·         Bondage, power play, giving/following orders, various types of pain play, knifeplay, breathplay, etc. (This can be either in SSC BDSM or other, or even in nonsexual context.)
·         Non-con or dub-con. Non-consensual kissing and touching. Drugs and aphrodisiacs.
·         Dominant women, women who like taking/having power and control, whether it be in m/f or f/f.
·         Magic or weird sci-fi phenomena leading to surreal sex.
·         Slow, methodical sex. Body worship. Explicit consent, repeated consent.
·         Dialogue and details on the characters’ thoughts during sex or makeouts. Sex with feelings. Heck, sex combined with character study or philosophy (lols, we’re getting out there). Long, drawn out foreplay that possibly doesn’t even end in sex. Sex that fades to black when things get serious.
·         DNW: Non-con that leads to the victim falling for the aggressor. Non-con where the victim secretly wanted it the whole time or the rape is portrayed as really being for the victim’s own good.
·         DNW: Anal or fisting. Sex toys. Pegging.
·         DNW: Ageplay, pedophilia, daddy/mommy kink
DNW: Scat/watersports etc.
·         DNW: Forced feminization.

Overall, I definitely enjoy sexual aspects of fics, but a lot of times the actual porn part I find kind of boring. Usually it’s more the foreplay, the feelings or the kink that do it for me. (Sorry, I know I’m…kind of picky…this is why I usually just say “No porn”, but I thought since it’s Valentine’s Day I’d give it a try.)

If all this is too confusing, um…well, you can look in my own fic and in my bookmarks for the M-rated fics and see what I like. That might be a bit simpler.

GENERAL DNW

Major character death unless it’s canonical, and even then…
Underage sex
Body horror, especially eye horror
ABO universe
Focus on homophobia
Pregnancy
Pure fluff

Okay, now for the fandom-specific prompts. I'm just going to rant a bit on my thoughts for each pairing and then bullet some specific prompts. I got a little carried away and long winded with this part so I hope you don't mind.

ANIMORPHS

Jake/Rachel

All the Animorphs go over the edge, but these two the most so. Give me Rachel as Jake’s lieutenant, doing the things he knows no one else would do for him. If you go pre-canon, maybe play up the incest angle if they’re together; otherwise I suspect they’d have larger concerns. Give me two people who know they’re fucked up but understand each other better than anyone else—they can’t comfort each other but at least they’re together, and they’ll go down together. And Rachel half hating Jake for giving her all the dirty work, and Jake hating himself, and just a lot of loathing going around.

· Rachel and Jake hiding their relationship from the team because despite the “larger concerns” they still know their friends might not support it and they don’t want to deal with it. And because maybe they suspect whatever relationship they have really isn’t good for them.
· Rachel and Jake’s first kiss—did it happen pre-canon between two awkward teens who immediately freaked out and swore never to talk about it again? If so, how do they feel about that in the present? Or maybe it only happens in canon era after a bloody skirmish with Rachel too horny and frustrated to keep on dancing around her feelings.
· Maybe the team does know about their relationship. If so, do Cassie or Tobias feel jealous or worried, or do they support it?
· If you go smutty/kinky, I’d be interested in these two practicing sexual or nonsexual BDSM because seriously, they need some outlets for stress. Usually I hate male doms with female subs but this is a situation where I think the dynamic could go either way, as they both have a complicated relationship with power and control.

Jake/David

From what you see in canon David sees Jake kind of as his rival, which means he kind of wants to be like Jake or admires him. But he still wants to be better. For this ship I’d like to see something fucked up surrounding David obsessing over Jake, wanting to defeat him and hurt him and be better than him but unable to stop himself from admiring him as a leader and a warrior at the same time—and maybe getting some things about Jake entirely wrong.

· Jake at David’s mercy at the end of a battle gone wrong. Does David take advantage of the situation, hurting Jake further or mocking him, or does he try to help Jake because part of him wishes they weren’t enemies and feels affection for him?
· David succeeds in escaping rat morph and comes after the Animorphs again. He challenges Jake about his having David trapped as a nothlit, blaming him as well as Rachel.

Marco/Rachel

I know canonically these two are decent friends but when I first read the series I loved how they were always arguing and fighting—to me it seemed like they had a lot of tension there. So while I’m fine with these two supporting each other and being a healthy couple, dysfunctional is also great. I’d love to see power play with Rachel as dom and Marco as sub. I’d love to see Rachel and Marco hating each other because Marco thinks Rachel is becoming a monster and Rachel thinks Marco is a coward…and still wanting to make out because the attraction is too much. It’s your choice whether they work it out or stay dysfunctional, I’m fine either way.

· How did things work out with Tobias? Maybe Rachel still considers herself to be in love with Tobias but goes to Marco because, well, Tobias is really unavailable…because most of the time he wants to be a hawk. How does Marco feel about lingering feelings?
· Is Jake one hundred percent here for the relationship (my best friend and my cousin, what could be better?) or is he a little concerned and confused? Who would he give the “don’t hurt them or I’ll kill you” talk to—Marco? Rachel? Both? Do he and Cassie and Marco and Rachel ever go on double dates?

DOLLHOUSE

Adelle/Caroline

Adelle/Caroline, two enemies who find themselves oddly attracted. Mind the age and power difference. How does Adelle feel about her attraction to a woman who she considers a terrorist? And how does Caroline feel about being attracted to a woman who works for a corporation she sees as monstrous? ...it's probably not going to be pretty.

· Adelle was obsessed with Caroline. Maybe sometimes she misses her, and brings her personality out to play in a different body.
· Did Caroline and Adelle ever meet before Caroline was captured? If so, did they recognize each other or was one undercover? What were their impressions of each other?

Topher/Bennett

I’d be fine with a fic about these two working together in an AU where Bennett lives, maybe with Bennett trying to stop Topher from going over the edge after the Apocalypse. Or maybe…

· After the LA Dollhouse goes rogue from Rossum, hostilities are drawn. Maybe Bennett’s dollhouse captures Topher. If so, what would she do with him?
· Topher and Bennett both have a childlike side, but at the time they meet, Bennett’s is more hardened by trauma. How does she feel about someone who is like her but softer and yet still callous? He’s different from Caroline, the woman she once loved—no idealism. Does she see that as a plus or a minus?

Topher/Claire

I love these two never quite connecting as they’d like to. I think Claire is attracted to Topher, despite what she says, but I don’t think Topher created her that way on purpose although he may have done it by accident. I’d like to see Claire being dominant in this relationship (as we see in Vows, the most dynamic episode for this couple), and if you’re going the kinky route, we can have dubcon, drugs (she’s a doctor), lowkey violence and insults/humiliation, or possibly some SSC BDSM. On the other hand, these two could also have a softer if still angsty relationship, with Claire doubting the reality of her own mind and Topher believing in her partly because he created her and partly because he’s gotten to know her. Or Claire helping a traumatized, maybe post-apocalyptic or at least post-Bennett Topher. Just, whatever route you take, angst is key.

· Claire says she doesn’t need to know about Whiskey, but Topher knows about Whiskey. How much of Whiskey does he see filtered through Claire?
· Topher and Claire interact in a work setting. Claire is struggling to stay professional, either because she hates Topher or because she keeps on being weirdly turned on. Eventually, she breaks and pins him to the wall. Intense makeouts ensue.
· Very basic recipe for angst: Topher and Claire are having sex or making out and Topher says the name “Whiskey.” Whether it’s before or after Claire finds things out, it’s got to be awkward.

GATTACA

Eugene/Vincent/Irene

I’m very fond of the AU where Eugene lives and Vincent and Irene get married or cohabitate and these three all end up in one big house together. But canon era fic is also good, or whatever ideas occur to you.

· What do outsiders think of this relationship, if any outsiders know of it? If they go to events together or out in public, who do they say Eugene is? Do Irene or Eugene’s parents/family know about the situation? How about Anton?
· On the sexy side of things, do they all make out at once or do two pair up while the other watches? Are they all three together or is it a V?
· How did the ship get together? During the year Vincent was gone, with Irene and Eugene growing close? In an AU where Irene and Eugene met before Vincent left? All post-canon?
· Assuming Eugene still has depression and suicidal tendencies, how do Irene and Vincent try to help him to cope?

Eugene/Anton

I’m pretty sure no one’s written this ship yet, probably because it’s a weird ship. Yes, I was the one who nominated it. Mostly because I think it would be kind of funny and pretty weird.

· Anton keeps on visiting Eugene during the year Vincent is away because either Vincent requests he take care of Eugene or because he’s suspicious of Eugene and wants to know more about who his brother’s hanging out with. They become friends/friends with benefits/lovers/kind of enemies who yell at each other a lot but also want to make out. Anton may undertake some suicide prevention.
· Post-canon Anton tries to make up with Vincent, but he won’t get very far without Eugene’s approval.
· AU where Eugene actually works at Gattaca and Anton meets him during the murder investigation. For some reason Eugene is still a major suspect. Anton hates that he’s attracted to him.

Eugene/Irene

Not gonna lie, the scene where these two kiss is one of my favorites in the movie. Irene and Eugene improvising so well together even though they’d never met before, Irene barely reacting to the big reveal until it was safe, and the careful, barely intimate kiss they share, the caution of Eugene touching her just enough to be convincing but not so much that it’s disrespectful to her, clearly playing a part…brilliant. They have a lot of chemistry. Besides, they have more than a bit in common, with their mutual obsession with Vincent and both of their backgrounds with being valid and yet not feeling like they’re good enough.

· Of course, the “how did they get together?” fic. Post-canon or AU, as long as Eugene lives and we see how Irene finds herself attracted to him.
· What if Irene and Eugene had to play the fake relationship bit for a while longer, either because Anton wasn’t called away or because of other arbitrary reasons? How would Irene feel about it?
· Irene and Eugene banding together to support Vincent and then Irene slowly falling out of love with Vincent and into love with Eugene. (If this makes you feel bad for Vincent, you can always go back up to the Irene/Vincent/Eugene option…I feel like for me these two ships are very similar.)

GREAT GATSBY

Nick/Gatsby

Nick clearly has a huge crush on Gatsby, but does Gatsby like Nick the same way? How does their relationship work around the fact that Gatsby is supposedly in love with Nick’s cousin, and around the fact that while the 1920s had loose sexual morals in some ways, homosexuality still wasn’t exactly acceptable?

· A fic with a focus on Gatsby the gangster. This can range from dark!Gatsby to Gatsby the Robin Hood. Probably best to balance the two. We know Gatsby’s at least involved in bootlegging and counterfeit. What happens if Nick gets pulled into his criminal life? Maybe he witnesses a murder he wasn’t supposed to or maybe Gatsby pulls him in with a “special connection”. Maybe Gatsby kidnaps him because despite Nick’s obvious pining he still hasn’t caught on to Gatsby’s interest and Gatsby is tired of waiting, or because Gatsby thinks kidnapping Nick will give him leverage against Tom or Daisy. Or maybe Nick just gets pulled in because he starts dating Gatsby…and realizes the implications of dating a mob boss only when he’s a little too deep.
· (clears throat) okay but obviously I’m also good with much lighter fic than that. I love Nick being frustrated and Gatsby being oblivious. How does Nick finally communicate his affections? How do they get together? Party hookup, with Nick only realizing Gatsby was kind of drunk afterwards? Long, complicated heart to heart which ends in a tentative kiss? Nick kisses Gatsby after Daisy has rejected him because he’s tired of Gatsby mourning his relationship with Daisy? Something in between?
· Focus on Nick as a veteran, and possible Gatsby as a veteran as well. Nick says he enjoyed the war so much he felt out of place when he came back, but Nick is an unreliable narrator. Did he enjoy the war? If so, what aspects of it appealed to him? How is it hard to make the adjustment now that he’s back home? Maybe he is haunted by memories or maybe he just feels restless with no one to fight. Maybe Gatsby understands that, or maybe no one does.

Jordan/Daisy

Dysfunction junction! One member here is clearly more interested than the other, probably Jordan. Girlhood where they’re still figuring out their sexual orientation. Possessiveness, angst, sexiness. BDSM. Jordan being the aunt to Daisy’s poor ignored daughter.

· The drama when Daisy gets married or starts dating guys.
· The first time one of them confesses their feelings. How does the other react? Especially if it’s after Daisy is already married.
· Jordan likes big parties. Daisy likes small gatherings. Show me one of them having an amazing time and the other completely out of their element. Up to you whether the evening ends with a comforting kiss or one of them storming out.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA

Raoul/Christine

Ooh man. I love h/c with these two but I also really love Christine as a femdom or at least as the aggressor whenever things heat up. Give me Christine who has Raoul wrapped around her finger and Raoul who knows it and accepts it as his natural state.

· Raoul gets hurt somehow and Christine has to take care of him. (Somehow could possibly be Erik’s fault…I know this is for Leroux-verse but for example what if the graveyard scene had gone not so well for Raoul?)
· Christine treating Raoul like her trophy fiancée/husband when attending events, dealing with jealous performers, etc. Basically Christine showing Raoul off.
· Or, on the reverse side, Christine and Raoul facing public censure and disapproval from Raoul’s family because Christine is an opera singer and not fit to marry a Vicomte.
· On the sexy side of things, just some nice, slow smut, with Christine completely in control the entire time while Raoul does everything she says.
· Or some innocent childhood friends who are now older and experiencing certain things for the first time. Harness some of the wonder of Raoul and Christine first exploring the opera house together. Show them doing something new—romantic or sexual or platonic or what have you.
· Raoul gets kidnapped by someone (could be Erik or anyone else) and Christine has to rescue him.

Erik/Raoul

While I’ll take fluff and happiness with these two, and I’ll definitely take h/c and plotty fics, what I’m really looking for here is kink. I want to see Erik obsessed with Raoul, or perhaps vengeful and malicious. Kidnapping and Stockholm syndrome are staples here. Violence, power play, bondage, manipulation, threats and hostage taking are pretty much par for the course. But of course the aesthetic is also important. Bring me dark basements full of candles or bring me beds of red velvet and getting strangled behind stage curtains while you’re listening to a diva sing an encore, but give me imagery.

· Erik likes sending letters. Maybe the new patron’s correspondence feels…oddly personal, not at all what the managers might have told him to expect. I mean, the demands for a salary are one thing, but what are these notes about Raoul needing to wear tighter shirts or telling him to come to Box Five?
· Erik and Raoul meet at the masquerade party despite Christine’s warnings that Raoul needs to disguise himself. Erik is interested in this boy who is wooing his protégée.
· Erik originally kidnaps Raoul as leverage against Christine or some other person but ends up being more interested in Raoul himself than in his original plans.
· Or, you know, anything dark and kinky. I’m not too picky. Or…something nice…I mean I’m pretty sure you could technically write the prompts above in a functional manner and I’d still be up for that.
· Raoul seeing Erik’s face without the mask—is he dramatically horrified to the point of crying or fainting or distinctly underwhelmed?

Erik/Raoul/Christine

So, you saw my thoughts on E/R and R/C above. Basically…fuse the two. I’m not too into E/C so I’d rather it not be in the focus, but if that’s your jam I’m chill with that too. I’d really like something kind of messed up (see my E/R notes for those thoughts lols).

· Prime time for this trio to form would be in the AU where Erik keeps Christine as his living bride but also keeps Raoul as insurance. Tensions evolve in ways that none of them would expect.
· How would one of them react to the other two’s relationship? Is everyone, you know…okay with this arrangement? Or was there possibly some coercion involved?
· I love Raoul whump, so what if he gets hurt and Erik and Christine have to work together to take care of him?

Carlotta/Christine

When two divas come together, the heat goes way up! Warm and sweet is fine, but snide jealousy, rivalry and bickering is also good. Two divas who are really really into each other but would never admit it because of opera politics is my new aesthetic—I call these two my OTP. So anything from hate make-outs to sweet secret relationships are fine.

· I’d love to see other characters’ reactions to the relationship (does Piangi ship it? Are the patrons jealous, or fantasizing?) if the relationship is public knowledge.
· Maybe some fic inspired by any of the operas these two star in—some nice Il Muto cross dressing perhaps, or some rivalry over the role of the empress in Hannibal.
· Aggressively making out when the tension between them finally breaks, or soft and tender kissing between two people who understand each other and support each other…you choose the dynamic.

Carlotta/Piangi

I guess it’s not technically canon but I think of it as canon. So. Two kind of middle aged opera singers high up on the pole. Opera hierarchy drama. Two petty stars who support each other against the plebeians are The Aesthetic.

· Details on how Carlotta or Piangi ended up in the positions they currently occupy. Did Carlotta really sleep her way to the top?
· Is her relationship with Piangi sexual or romantic, and either way is it an open or closed relationship?
· I’d love to see Piangi and Carlotta defending each other from opponents like Christine the rival, the mysterious O.G., or choir directors criticizing Piangi’s accent.

PREDESTINATION

Barkeeper/Fizzle Bomber, Jane/Barkeeper, Unmarried Mother/Jane/Barkeeper, Unmarried Mother/Barkeeper

Honestly all these ships seem approximately similar to me since they’re all, you know…selfcest shipping the same character with themselves. But of course there are small differences between the character’s different iterations, and I’d love to see how you play those up.

· How would Jane (or the Unmarried Mother) feel about hooking up with someone new (the Barkeeper) before finding out that their original boyfriend was themselves? Would they feel guilty over hooking up with someone else, vaguely wondering if maybe their old boyfriend is dead or whether they should feel any loyalty to them? Vindictive, remembering how they used to think they would be loyal to that boyfriend and now trying to drive out the memory? Or perhaps they’re just seeking solace from their pain and hope that this will either stay casual or that the Barkeeper is better than their last love.
· With Unmarried Mother/Jane/Barkeeper, how the fuck did this even come to be a thing? Who arranged the threesome? How does Jane feel about all the attention?
· Barkeeper/Fizzle Bomber—I’m broadly counting “Barkeeper” to include Jane/John during their time as agent, so maybe an encounter that starts with violent confrontation and ends with angry or dysfunctional making out or sex that verges into dub-con. Which, I guess, could still happen with the later Barkeeper…either one would work really.

SENSE8

Will/Jonas

Jonas and Will have more of a teacher and student relationship in canon, so you could play with that. But I’d also be interested in seeing some stuff involving Jonas seeking respite during his time with BPO, or Will reaching out during his time on drugs during hiatus. Either of them reaching for human connection and understanding when the world feels distant and unreal. I’d like to see where things would progress between them now that they’re together after Season Two as well, but any era is fine with me.

· Jonas loves Will but he often betrays information about him to Whispers. Show me how he feels about that—does he regret it greatly or consider it inevitable?
· Jonas and Will meet up in a memory which turns into something more akin to dream sex when one of them makes a move.
· Jonas visits Will while another cluster member is having sex and doesn’t understand why he’s all tense and sweaty.

Wolfgang/Kala/Rajan

OMG. I really wish canon would come a bit closer to this. Rajan clearly does love Kala even though they don't totally connect, and I imagine the chemistry between him and Wolfgang would be interesting-somewhat pampered rich boy and the bad boy, hm? And of course the three together would solve pretty much all Kala's internal conflicts.

· I'd like to see Kala explaining the cluster to Rajan possibly but also the relationship afterwards-Lots of casual threesomes, Rajan wondering if they should visit Germany (with Whispers about, maybe not), Kala channeling Wolfgang while Rajan is present, marital domesticity, etc.

· It would also be interesting to see how things would work if Rajan didn't actually know about the cluster and either Kala was channeling Wolfgang during sex without telling him or she told him but he assumed it was a hallucination. Obviously that would edge into dubcon, but I could still go for it.
· Or in a more vanilla version of Rajan not knowing, Wolfgang just begins to pine to be part of Rajan and Kala's relationship and maybe talks to Rajan through Kala sometimes but Rajan assumes it's dissociative identity disorder or something similar.
· Or, in a total AU, Wolfgang the gangster kidnaps this rich couple visiting from India for…gangster reasons…but finds they are not what he expected.

Wolfgang/Lila

(coughs.) On the other hand…I kind of really liked Lila in Season Two, and I think because of her villainy she doesn’t get a lot of attention. So how about some Wolfgang/Lila? I’d like to know whether Lila was ever actually interested in Wolfgang or just using him…or maybe even scared of him, considering his record of killing the major players in Berlin. So I’d love some insight into that.

· A fic where Lila and Wolfgang actually get together. What’s Lila like when her guard is down? How does she react to a Wolfgang who actually trusts her, and is she worthy of that trust?
· Or a fic where Lila takes a more personal hand in taking Wolfgang down instead of sending Whispers et al after him.
· On the sexy side of things, Lila the femdom would be…lovely.
· Finally, I wouldn’t mind this flowing into some sort of an OT3 situation if you really like Wolfgang/Felix or Wolfgang/Kala, and I feel like Lila wouldn’t particularly mind either.

Sun/Her Assistant

I had not thought of this ship but tbh I would love to see Sun and her assistant together because LADY BOSS FEMSLASH is my EXACT jam. So. What’s their relationship like?

· Maybe Sun just uses her assistant to blow off steam. But even then, she has a certain respect for sex, and I think she’d still respect her partner.
· Or maybe they’re together long term—if so, does Sun’s family know about it? And does the assistant know about Sun’s terrible relationships with her family?
· How does the assistant feel when Sun gets arrested, especially if she’s not in on the secret?

STRANGER THINGS

Note: Obviously I’m in this fandom for Kali ;) so focus on her character is welcome, and um…yeah I know she never met either of these characters but I’m sure they’d get along? Maybe?

Kali/Steve

I’m curious as to how this dynamic would go. Steve’s kind of a Team Mom, but Kali’s a bit less so—it seems like Mick plays that role in her team—while still something of a leader. Would they try to protect each other? I’d love to see some h/c regardless of who would get hurt. Or would they clash, Kali’s aggressive tendencies and Steve’s insecurities not meshing all that well?

· Hurt/comfort fic is great here, as I said above. Whether it’s the aftermath of a supernatural battle, one of Kali’s assassination missions gone wrong, or just an incident of Hargrove bullying, there are all sorts of ways these two might get hurt, and I want to see the aftermath.
· I’d love to see a little possessiveness, though nothing over the top. Maybe Kali and Steve wearing each other’s clothes and preening about it, maybe them gloating about their hot significant other.
· Steve seems to adopt kids as his sisters and brothers, so it seems likely he’ll do the same with Eleven. How will Kali feel seeing her Jane choose to be someone else’s sister? Does she feel jealous and inadequate? Does she feel happy that Jane has found a place she’s safe or does she think Jane is only leaving herself vulnerable? And how does this all affect her relationship with Steve?
· I’d be okay with a little dark fic touch here—Kali kidnapping the rich Steve for ransom, Kali being something of a bad girl—but please don’t set her up as a villain. And by that I mean: no non-con please! Kali’s a bad girl but not that way.
· On the other hand, I could see some BDSM or kinky stuff between these two. Kali could be a femdom or she could be willing to let Steve take charge for once.
· Steve knows how to brawl schoolyard-style, but Kali knows how to straight up kill a man. What happens if the two spar, or if they seriously go head to head? Could they show each other any new techniques?

Kali/Nancy

We have a bit of the good girl/bad girl vibe here, except not really; Kali only wants justice and welcomes friendship and family, and Nancy secretly enjoys adventure and a taste of the forbidden. So, I think they’d be very attracted to what each other have. And of course they both want to take on the mysterious lab, in somewhat different ways—maybe an action couple?

· For arbitrary reasons Kali has to infiltrate a college in disguise as a student. Nancy happens to be attending the college she infiltrates.
· When Nancy and the gang bust open a lair of the Organization’s, they find Kali held captive there after being recaptured by the Organization…or vice versa. Girls rescuing each other.
· Some pure kinky sexy fun with Kali’s illusions or maybe some power play. Doesn’t matter who starts the fun as long as they both enjoy it.
· Nancy doesn’t always approve of Kali’s methods for revenge, while Kali finds Nancy overly soft and indirect. Do they ever argue about this? How do they reach an accord? I would prefer this not to end with a condemnation of Kali’s desire for revenge or violence in the past, though it’s fine to acknowledge that it might not be good for her to continue on this path.
· How do Nancy and Kali feel about the existence of Mileven? Are there any parallels between that lab baby/Wheeler ship and this one?

OVERALL

This is a damn long letter. I hope at least some of my prompts are inspiring to you, or perhaps my notes on the ships or, you know, something. But honestly I’ll love whatever you write, and I’m really looking forward to this gift exchange. Have fun writing!
